Before We Disappear

Chris Cornell

5

Time ain′t nothing if it ain't fast

Taking everything that you ever had

And giving nothing in returnBut a cold bed in the quiet earth

If there′s a door to every cell

A pearl inside of every shell

Then how hard can it be

To share your life with me

How hard can it be

To rise with me each morning

I know that it feels like

We will live forever, but I fear

That time will hide the years

Life ain't nothing if it ain't hard

It will show you who you truly are

Knock you down when you get too tall

′Til you′re spun around in a free fall

But somewhere out there past the storm

Lies the shelter of your heart

So how hard can it be

To share your life with me

How hard can it be

To rise with me each morning

I know that it feels like

We will live forever, but I fear

That time will hide the years

Like we were never here

So hold on tightly my dear

I'm not one to waste my time

Searching for some silver lining

But somewhere out there past the storm

Lies the shelter of your heart

So how hard can it be

To share your life with me

How hard can it be

To rise with me each morning

I know that it feels like

We will live forever, but I fear

That time can hide the years

Like we were never here

So hold on tightly my dear

Before we disappear

Before we disappear
